The Senate Conservatives Fund already witnesses the epic disaster which can overwhelm a red US Senate race if there are desperate primary fights tying up and wasting Republican monies.

The Democratic challenger for Tennessee's US Senate seat has a relative level of popularity, especially since he was governor nearly 20 years ago, and most people will likely recall basically conservative governing views and decisions.

Marsha Blackburn is the best choice to continue representing Tennessee's interests in the US Senate, ensuring that the Senate governing majority actually acts like one.

Bob Corker is thinking about not retiring?

He should go back to his original plan and go away!

Arthur:

We just received the results from our latest poll of the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee and I wanted you to be the first to know.

As liberal Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) reconsiders his decision to retire, he should proceed with great caution.

According to our survey, likely Republican primary voters want him to retire by an overwhelming margin.

Retire - 64%

Seek Re-Election - 24%

Unsure - 12%

And if Senator Corker were to run against the two Republicans already in the race, he would lose by 23 points to conservative U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) if the election were held today.

Marsha Blackburn - 49%

Bob Corker - 26%

Steven Fincher - 9%

Undecided - 17%

Looking at the favorable and unfavorable opinions that Republican primary voters have of Corker and Blackburn it's clear that if Corker runs, it will be at his own peril.

While Corker has a negative net image (-2%), Blackburn has a very positive net image (+43%).

BOB CORKER

Very Favorable - 18%

Somewhat Favorable - 29%

Somewhat Unfavorable - 27%

Very Unfavorable - 22%

Not Sure / No Opinion - 4%

MARSHA BLACKBURN

Very Favorable - 36%

Somewhat Favorable - 28%

Somewhat Unfavorable - 10%

Very Unfavorable - 11%

Not Sure / No Opinion - 15%

While many in the swamp are cheering the idea of Senator Corker running again, Republican voters in Tennessee are not.

If he wants to throw his hat back into the ring, that's his prerogative. But we won't back down from supporting Marsha Blackburn.
